HI ALL! It's almost the weekend! Today I am going on a trip to the Historic Dockyard and a rope factory, but its actually a lot cooler than you think because we get to go on the last remaining WW2 warship and a submarine and you can go inside and press the buttons and pretend your like on titanic and shit.

Also the rope factory is pretty cool too, last time i went I stole some to make a bracelet.

WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS FOR TODAY/TONIGHT?! I'm gonna get drunk later and then be hungover at Thorpe park tomorrow. Great idea.

The bleeding hotel rang up and made a mistake and only have 'twin' roosm now. He'll love that. Just gonna get drunk all weekend and talk about how him beating me up for about 9 years constantly was actually the best time of my life

at the same time, the girlfriend of the boyfriend who sit equidistant from me at a radius of about 6m, are having a muted argument. All I’ve gathered is that someone might have gone through a red light

it's not immediately clear who he is, but it seems he's going to go down in history as Jason, Liberator of Milk, (he looks like a Jason)

and he's free, at 09:04 on the 7th of September 2012, Chris the milkman has been freed from the lift, to rapturous applause. In an effort to increase his overtime, he’s saying he’s been in there for an hour and a half, I suspect the reality is that he’s only been in there an hour as often I see him doing his rounds at 10 past 8, but who knows what effect being stuck in a lift has on time and space, so I think we can allow him the extra 30 minutes.

Tomorrow- heritage open days! Work is actually going to be busy and I'll have stuff to do that isn't just drinking tea and reading. I'm going to go and have a look in some other buildings on my lunch break. Driving down to Macclesfield after that and might go out in Macc on Saturday night.

Sunday- possibly Chester zoo, possibly going to Wales to see my sister, possibly going to Manchester, possibly just having a lazy Sunday taking the dogs for a walk etc. I'll be happy to do any of those things.

If you'd asked me a month ago I'd have said 'i'm not an employment lawyer, sorry' but in my new job it turns out they think I am, so I'm bluffing wildly at potential tribunal happenings across the land. Let me look into it.

What precisely is the issue? Would your friend rather leave half an hour earlier and take a shorter lunch break? What does his contract say about his working hours? When agrreing a contract at the outset, your boss can dictate whatever working hours they like (within the working time regs, assuming your firend hasn't opted out of these.) If your boss then materially changes the ocntract, then you have some rights, but otherwise very few.

Last night rocked, in a crazy way. I am having a quiet night tonight. I'm going to lie in bed and watch catch up telly and trough thai food. My friends that I was hoping to go on hols with (before I realised I had to start my new job immediately) are currently boarding their plane to barbados, which makes me want to cry a little, except I'm so dehydrated, I have no tears. Nothing.

some very dear friends are getting married soon but the actual ceremony is mid-week in rural Norfolk, so I (and I would guess a lot of their friends) can't go, so they're having a big party this weekend. really excited!

probably gonna go and see the new Judge Dredd film after work tonight as well, I'm reallllllly excited.

It was all East end inspired and we ended at The Queen Of Hoxton roof drinking Pimms on tap and eating a BBQ. Pretty amazing. Thankfully didn't get too drunk - not something I try do in front of work colleagues.

I have to go to have Harold put down tonight. Its going to be way sad, and I reckon that my ex (the co-owner) will leave me in the room cause she won't want to be there. I know that he's only a rat, but he's my buddy, and he's so cool. Sad times. Going to get drunk somewhere after.
